A Shy Hope

We, humans, have an immense passion for life
Despite the miseries we face, we stand steadfast

We endure the pain of suffering as heavy as a mountain
We survive the grief of loss as deep as the ocean
We brave the adversities of life as cold as ice

But even in these moments of despair
We stand tall
By holding onto a shy hope
That this too shall pass
That we will feel the joy of love
Once again
